This menu option enlarges the program window to fill the entire screen. This effectively enlarges the waveform of the sound file so that you can observe minute details.
Minimum size
Location: View Menu
This menu option sizes the program window to its normal dimensions. This is the default program window size. This is a very convenient viewing mode, providing the user with the familiar floating "window" metaphor.
Position displays
Location: View Menu
This menu option sets the units used for expressing the position of the sound file: the current position and the selection position. The program provides for two systems of position measurement: time and samples. Time positioning is expressed in minutes, seconds and thousandths of a second. Sample positioning is expressed as ordinal numbers specifying the sound sample.
When you click this menu option, the program presents you with a sub-menu offering you two further options: Minutes/Seconds and Sample number. Choose the former for a position display in minutes and seconds; choose the latter for a position display showing sample numbers.
